On a similar note, we wrote about the “Ten Commandments” of the corruptors.

Good stuff!

We are the truth of our life. Yes, there are extenuating circumstances, but that doesn't cede your responsibility. One of my favorite sayings is " The truth is out there. All you have to do is let it in." Thanks for your voice. It is so good to hear it again. I enjoy your stories and being able to hear the inflection points from you is wonderful!

I sawthe message above. As an elementary teacher, I always started my day with story reading (also on return from lunch recess) and it started noticing a little crowd standing outside my door. I paused to ask if they needed help. Nope! They said. Just hearing you read makes us want to join your room. So tone, pauses, inflection tell and sell the story! ❤️😊

I really like your voice, Walter. Thanks. I used to read books on audio now I listen to substack creators. Voice is key-sometimes I have to quit listening and read cuz the voice is so grating.

Thank you! I am always glad to hear that. I have spent years reading to my kids and the goal was always to be comforting enough that they went to sleep. I read to my subscribes in my “daddy putting the girls to sleep” voice :) I’m glad I still have a use for it!
